> CEMENT ADHESIVES.<br />

Some of the bonding materials most commonly used on the market today are: Cement adhesives. These consist of a main bin<strong>de</strong>r (Portland cement)<br />

and sands and other additives that improve the adhesive’s characteristics. Cement adhesives inclu<strong>de</strong>:<br />

> Conventional Glue Mortars.<br />

Organic products are ad<strong>de</strong>d to the mortar to<br />

improve its elastic and water-retaining properties,<br />

thereby remedying the failings of traditional<br />

mortar. These are used only for indoor surfaces.<br />

Class C1 according to EN 12004.<br />

> Glue Mortars with Casein.<br />

These are used especially on tile-laying surfaces<br />

ma<strong>de</strong> of plaster and/or gypsum. Class C2E<br />

according to EN 12004.<br />

> High-specification Glue Mortars.<br />

These can contain up to approximately 2% of<br />

thermoplastic resins to improve adhesion. They<br />

are suitable for interiors and outdoor floor<br />

surfaces. Class C2 according to EN 12004.<br />

> Glue Mortars with Mixed Bin<strong>de</strong>rs.<br />

These usually contain more than 2% thermoplastic<br />

resins, either incorporated or in the form of a<br />

water-based dispersant to add to the pow<strong>de</strong>r.<br />

These glue mortars have improved adhesion,<br />

<strong>de</strong>formability, resistance, etc., and are the best<br />

products to use for <strong>de</strong>manding applications. Class<br />

C2E and C2TE according to EN 12004.<br />

inclu<strong>de</strong>:<br />

> REACTION ADHESIVES<br />

ADVANTAGES DRAWBACKS<br />

USES<br />

> Easy to use<br />

> Excellent adhesion<br />

> Deformable<br />

> Suitable for any kind of<br />

tile-laying surface<br />

> Suitable for tiles with no<br />

absorption<br />

> Not suitable for large-sized tiles<br />

> Low resistance to contact with water<br />

> Indoor walls<br />

These compounds are based on synthetic resins that har<strong>de</strong>n due to the chemical reaction between the various components. They usually have<br />

excellent specifications, plus the resins provi<strong>de</strong> special technical characteristics. However, their main drawback is that all the component resins<br />

must be mixed, meaning that they must be carefully handled. Type R according to EN 12004.<br />

ADVANTAGES DRAWBACKS<br />

USES<br />

> Excellent adhesion<br />

> Mechanical resistance<br />

> Chemical resistance<br />

> Flexibility<br />

> Suitable for tiles with no<br />

absorption<br />

> Meticulous handling<br />

> The quantities of the components<br />

must be carefully measured<br />

> Indoor floors<br />

> Outdoor floors<br />

> Indoor walls<br />

> Outdoor walls<br />
